Re: [VFB] rare books

[Jimmy D. Moore]

The books looked awful thin to me.  Must  be alot larger than they 
appear in the Pic.  I ship iron and wood golf club sets  in those long 
triangle shaped priority boxes anywhere in the US.  A set of irons 
weighs around 12 pounds. For me to ship them from my home in Texas to 
zones 1-3 it costs me $9.50 Priority Mail.  For zone 8 it is $22.65.  My 
average Priority Mail cost for shipping golf irons is $16.00. A set of 4 
woods which weigh around 4 pounds runs from $5.30 to $10.35

I have noticed that some people selling on Ebay try to cover their ---- 
by jacking up their shipping charges, in case their item sells for 
considerably less than they expect.  

Cheers,
JD

Actually Jimmy, he's not out of line with his shipping charges. 
Together those three books weigh about 15 pounds. If I had to mail 
them to California it would cost $27.80 for Priority, $22.64 for 
Parcel Post and $6.34 for Media Mail. The only rip-off would be if he 
planned on using Media Mail.
